Obama Tells Military To Be Prepared For War In Korea

I swear this will result in the world becoming a post apocalyptic waste land. If i get nuked because of  
obama deciding to continue Americas 'we own the world' attitude there will be a lynching at hand... 

" @EpicSteve: Since you're in the military, I guess it would be good to ask you - aren't we already having a problem with the amount of soldiers we have for Iraq and Afghanistan?  "

I feel like a baby in this thread...
 
Wtf is going on?!?

I sure hope there isn't a draft.

" I feel like a baby in this thread...  Wtf is going on?!? "

This is such a good chance to post this documentary:
 

 In The Wounded Platoon, FRONTLINE investigates a single Fort Carson platoon of infantrymen -- the 3rd Platoon, Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry -- and finds, after a long journey, a group of young men changed by war and battling a range of psychiatric disorders that many blame for their violent and self-destructive behavior. Since returning from Iraq, three members of the 3rd Platoon have been convicted on murder or attempted murder charges; one has been jailed for drunk driving and another for assaulting his wife; and one has attempted suicide.

But how does this affect Starcraft 2?

We're all gonna diiiiieeeeeee.

Sweet, lets wipe North Korea off the map
 
Now that the conservative (Or maybe thats more liberal?, i really shouldn't label these things, its too much of a gray area.) Republican side of me has had it's say let me point out that its unlikely Korea would be stupid enough to make any sort of real move, if anyones going to be the aggressor its going to be the South. Although if China says it will back up NK , im going to be drafted sometime next year.

" In no way will China or Russia back NK up if this war happens.. "

" Scary stuff. why can't they just turn some YMCA on and dance together in peace ? "

" For you religious folk:  This would mean a war against China as well, which the last prophecy in the Bible. I'm not a man of God, but that's strange.  "

You know we got mental therapy for soldiers, right? It's not like it's just 'OH HEY YOU FOUGHT OKAY GL ON YOUR OWN NOW'. "

Exactly. They should all just relax. "

" At least he did one thing right so far. "

Well god damnit 
 
I hope nobody nukes Canada.

We are all going to die!!!  Break out the booze and pussy.

" @Detrian:   You cant FORCE people to goto therapy.   "

Unless Kim is crazier than he appears (always a possibility) there's not really any chance of war.  The NK forces are ill trained and equipped with cold war era crap.  After watching the US totally vaporize the Iraqi forces in mere weeks I think the NK army would evaporate even faster.  If SK does it investors will flee in droves.  We'll just see increased surveillance and antisubmarine patrols.  Also whatever isn't currently sanctioned on NK will probably be getting chopped soon.

Finally.

" OH SHI-....CRYSIS IS ABOUT TO BECOME REALITY!  Calling it now, joint allied forces utilising nanosuit technology to invade North Korea. It is on! "

YOU BETTER PROTECT ME

" @Detrian:  Thats a societal problem not a military problem, if dumb people dont want to goto therapy because its seen as "un-manly" behavior, thats their problem. You cant FORCE people to goto therapy.   But on-topic,  I hate to say this, but it needs to be done, for several reasons, most of which have been pointed out by people before me. "

Fuck you.
 
No really, he's only done one thing so far? One thing? And where were you when Health Care happened? When he began closing Guantanamo Bay? When he became the first president to discuss an armistice with Russia? And I am listing some of the most significant ones here which cause an impact on the news overseas, by reading national newspapers I understand Obama has been thus far a great president. "

say a full on war does break out, does any one think it will go nuclear?
 
I'm not 100 percent on what North Korea apparently have or don't have. Or America for that matter.

Not that I'm taking sides, but for people/famlies who make over $100,000/$200,000 a year...the Health Care Law is kinda shitty for us.  But then again, the will of many overtake the will of those who aren't part of the many. "

" @Detrian:  seriously? do you even know what the word  "societal" means? Thanks for your condescending attitude, but did you even read my post? or just pop off a response telling me to watch some crappy docu?     In case you need more explaining, I said that people refusing therapy because they will be seen as weak is a PROBLEM WITH SOCIETY, not exclusive to the military. Like that scene in sopranos where Tony dosent wanna goto Therapy because he is afraid the other mobsters will make fun of him for it. My point was, that you need to teach EVERYONE not just the military that going to therapy isnt "weak".  "

Wow, thank God America are the fucking world police.

And that's what I love about democracy. "

Does everybody use forum threads as a place to be a keyboard ninja?

Damn it, if North Korea lobs a nuke over to the states I'm going to be right in the blast zone... I am completely in favor of liberating a country that actually has nukes, and which is essentially its leaders sandbox, but nuclear war... it's a scary thing...

   Its like saying  "we need to stop college students from becoming alcoholics"..when it really should be "we need to deter everyone from becoming alcoholics". "

In the words of the fella from Avatar: "Let's just take this down a couple of notches, please".
 
But seriously, no nukes please.

" @Detrian:  No, my point is that it cant be fixed by chastising the military for it, its not the military's fault.  You were using it as a point to lambast the armed forces, which is not at all appropriate.  I mean, if you were going to say , The military should do more to make sure the people picked to be soldiers are mentally stable beforehand,  then i would let it pass.   But you cant solely blame soldiers for something that is a problem with society as a whole.   Its like saying  "we need to stop college students from becoming alcoholics"..when it really should be "we need to deter everyone from becoming alcoholics".

I seem to have answered you in a private message so I'm sorry: Stop being stupid and actually the thing.    Spoilers: Most your soldiers don't seek counseling because they are afraid they'll be seen as sissies and even with the few that do mental hospitals are swamped and can't handle all cases. "
